| Course Description | This course aims to teach fundamentals of modeling and simulation with applications in logistics management and logistics operations. Emphasis is placed on hands-on experience of both analytical and modeling aspects of simulation. Analysis topics include input distributions and processes, methods for generating random numbers and processes, statistical analysis of output, experimental design and optimizing simulation models. Modeling topics include model construction for static or dynamic systems, issues about level of detail, the simplifying assumptions, model validation and verification using a high-level modeling package. |
